Redistributing wealth will not make poor countries rich. Most poor countries are poor because of bad governance, corruption, political problems (including armed conflicts), culture, and geography. I support some limited forms of foreign aid but when we simply redistribute wealth it mostly gets stolen or wasted without achieving any sustainable improvements.
